Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Twelfth-Stepping
Our addictive personalities can produce unexpected twists in character: many of us can’t stand practicing addicts of any kind. It feels old to Twelfth-Step someone who reminds us so sharply of where we came from. Who wants to get up at three o’clock in the morning to Twelfth-Step someone who’s high and probably won’t remember what you said anyway?
What’s the use? we may ask. We’re the use! Twelfth-Stepping is something we need to do to stay clean and sober. We may not like it all the time, but it keeps us growing.
Do I always carry the message to those who still suffer?
Higher Power, give me the strength, patience, and love it requires to Twelfth-Step those who still suffer.
Today I will work on tolerance by…
Hazelden Foundation
